Question
for the following physiological responses regarding an aspect of the ans:
sexual response
select whether it is unique to the parasympathetic or sympathetic systems or belongs to both.
○ sympathetic
○ parasympathetic
○ both
The sexual response involves both the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. The parasympathetic system is involved in the arousal phase (e.g., vasodilation, engorgement), and the sympathetic system plays a role in the orgasmic phase (e.g., muscle contractions, increased heart rate). So the sexual response is mediated by both.
